Your Wedding Day, Captured Like Only a Friend Could

The Wedding Experience

Stress-free, joy-filled, and full of moments you’ll never forget.

From the first email to the final gallery, I’m here to make this feel easy, comfortable, and incredibly fun!


I won’t make you pose like someone you’re not. I won’t over-direct or under-deliver. What I will do is learn your people, feel out the rhythm of your day, and move like a guest with a camera—close enough to catch the real stuff, never in the way.


We’ll talk before the wedding. Not just about timelines or logistics, but about who matters most to you. Who you want a quiet photo with before the ceremony. Who’s most likely to tear up during toasts. What parts of the day feel sacred. What parts feel just plain exciting.


On the day itself, I’m calm when the flower girl throws a tantrum. Quick when the light is just right. And patient when your dad needs a minute to pull himself together.


Afterward, I’ll sort through every image—carefully, intentionally—choosing the ones that tell your story the way it really happened. The kind of photos that feel alive every time you look at them.


You don’t have to know how to pose. You just have to show up.


I’ll take it from there.

 

Your wedding day is full of once-in-a-lifetime moments—your joy, your laughter, your love. It’s all there, and I’m here to capture it in a way that feels real and true to who you are. With me, you won’t feel like you're posing for a photographer—you’ll feel like you’re hanging out with a friend who just happens to have a camera.


I’ll be by your side, helping to ease your nerves, keeping things relaxed, and most importantly—making sure you have fun. From the sweet, quiet moments to the wild, unforgettable ones, I’m here to document it all while you enjoy the day with the people who matter most.

Pricing

I know investing in your wedding day is a big decision—and it can feel a little overwhelming, too.

I’m all about making things feel easy and low-pressure, so if you want to get to know me a bit before deciding, let’s grab a coffee or hop on a video chat! I’ll walk you through exactly what it’s like to work together so you can feel totally confident moving forward.


Full-day wedding collections range from $3,250 to $3,950, and most couples spend around $4,600 with engagement sessions and heirloom albums added in.


Wedding photography is so much more than just hiring someone with a camera—it’s about preserving the moments that matter most. These photos become the way you relive your vows, your people, the laughter, the happy tears... all of it. They’re the memories you’ll frame on your walls, flip through with your kids, and pass down for generations. The value of that? Truly priceless.

 

I totally get that wedding costs add up fast—and I am here to help make things feel manageable. Don’t hesitate to share what you’re hoping for when it comes to coverage and budget. Just remember: photography is one of the only things (besides your new spouse!) that you get to take home from your day. You’re putting so much heart, time, and energy into making it unforgettable—I want to make sure you (and your future generations) can relive it all through your photos for years to come.

Testimonials

After our initial zoom call, my husband and I agreed we made the right choice. Emma always responded so quickly to my dozens of emails leading up to the wedding. She is talented, thoughtful, easy going, and overall added so much positivity and fun to our wedding day. We had such great feedback from our bridal party who is just as obsessed with her. We love you Emma!

Testimonials

We had the pleasure of working with Emma for our engagement session and wedding day. To say she exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. Her photography is beautiful and authentic (she’s the queen of candids!) and her warm, funny, and genuinely kind personality made it all the more wonderful to work with her. We couldn’t imagine having chosen anyone else as our wedding photographer.

Testimonials

When I first saw Emma’s website, I knew we had to have her as our wedding photographer. From my initial inquiry to the delivery of our wedding gallery, and everything in between, Emma has been so pleasant to work with. Not only is her work absolutely stunning, but she helped us through the stressful wedding planning process. As someone who typically doesn’t like photos of myself, I have never felt more confident than in front of Emma’s camera. Her posing tips and prompts were a life-saver for an “awkward” couple like us. Want someone to capture the pure essence and emotion of your special day? Look no further.
